<h1>Creating a Fish Eye Selector as a selector</h1>
<p>If a Fish Eye Selector is created as a selector, the selector can be 
 displayed as a standard selector such as a listbox or button bar in non-Flash 
 modes in MicroStrategy Web. If you want to display the Fish Eye Selector 
 as a Grid/Graph, or hide it completely, in non-Flash modes, create it 
 as a widget instead. For instructions, see 
<a href="Defining_a_Fisheye_widget.htm">Creating 
 a Fish Eye Selector as a widget</a>. &nbsp;A Fish Eye 
 Selector created as a selector can switch the panels of a panel stack, 
 unlike a Fish Eye Selector created as a widget. </p>
<p class="whs1">You can create a new Fish Eye Selector or apply 
 its style to an existing selector. The following procedure lists the steps 
 to create a new selector. To apply the style to an existing selector, 
 set the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Flash style</B></span> property (from 
 the Property List or Properties dialog box) to <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Fish 
 Eye Selector</B></span>. For more information, see 
<a href="Modify_properties_for_selector.htm">Modifying 
 properties for a selector</a>.</p>
